Comment
Small bracteates have diameter around 18mm.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate - Ottokar II (small) ND (1253-1270) coin is that it features a unique blend of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a stylized representation of the Moravian castle, which was an important symbol of power and authority for the ruling Premyslid dynasty. The castle is depicted with a central keep and four towers, surrounded by a moat and a wall with battlements. The use of Gothic elements in the design of the castle reflects the growing influence of Gothic architecture in Central Europe during the 13th century.
